Oakton Community College - Des Plaines

Teachers in nursing program are old fashion; hard to keep up with technology and most of them are playing favorites; Absolutely no respect for students and treat us like we are some children from 1st grade; no way you can know your schedule some time ahead to make arrangements for babysitting for students who have children;

Overall, Oakton College is an average school and it is better to spend money at a university.Professors are subpar and Career and Transfer Center staff and resources are lacking. They are rude and not polite and just do not work. It is better to "put your money where your mouth is" and get a better education. The college staff needs more training.

Nursing department needs a makeover in regards to teachers who teach classes, as well as taking in consideration students' opinions in regards to classes and schedules.

It's my third semester at this school and I can't wait to leave. The professors do not teach you anything, everything is self taught and they can't wait to fail you.The school is very depressing and there is nowhere to study. Food, clubs and the campus overall sucks. The advisors do not know what they're talking about and neither does anyone else.

I hate this school. I wish I would have gone to Harper.

There are few real options for transfer. The school doesn't put much effort into helping students find appropriate transfer schools, much less get into them. There are a couple of pathways programs, but they tend to be for a very small subset of students (students who just graduated high school AND have great GPAs AND a specific major.)

When my mother died, the school denied my request to drop classes, or to make up the work I missed while burying her. It negatively impacted my GPA, my transferability, and my scholarship potential. Why so Cruel? If you don't remember to bring a reusable bottle from home, your only drink option is small sips of water from the fountain, all day.

ABSOLUTELY disappointed. Comparing our graduation to other community colleges left me feeling like Oakton does not care about their students. In addition, I do not feel prepared for my career. I regret my decision to select Oakton. The school must work on their communication skills. I would only recommend this school if your only concern is cost.

Some of the professors conduct themselves inappropriately. Others just don't care, and don't bother to teach/help students. Some teachers are really great though. I've already run into a few situations where I basically got ripped off though. This place is way overpriced for what you get.
